| Obverse description | Crowned effigy of James I facing left, rendered in a stylized medieval manner with a notably elongated neck, a characteristic feature distinguishing this emission. The crown is depicted with prominent projecting points above the royal head. The portrait is contained within an inner beaded circle, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery between two concentric beaded borders. |

| Reverse description | A long cross extending to the inner beaded circle divides the field into four quarters, with an annulet placed in the first and fourth angles and a group of three bezants arranged in the second and third angles. The royal legend is distributed around the periphery in Latin characters, contained between two concentric beaded circles, a layout typical of Catalan billon deniers of the thirteenth century. |
